Lenin And Philosophy And Other Essays by Louis Althusser

A provocative collection of theoretical essays that reconceives Marxist philosophy by examining the function of ideology, the operation of state and ideological apparatuses in reproducing social relations, and the epistemological break between humanist and scientific readings of Marx; it defends a structural, anti-humanist approach, reinterprets revolutionary theory and Lenin’s intervention in philosophy, and offers dense conceptual tools for understanding how political power and philosophical practice are intertwined.
